Television Theme Tunes

[Paul Mc]

I want to know what your favourate T.V. theme tunes are, my personal favourate is The Fresh Prince of Bel Air simply because everyone knows the words.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

Everyone knows that Wallace & Gromit have the best theme tune...

Or maybe Firefly...

 

[Kajt]

Spoiler: The Stargate SG-1 theme song.

Batman TAS. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEx9r5enZsk

It's like a self contained movie.

 

[DoctorNick]

Spoiler: Beverly Hillbillies

Spoiler: The Jetsons

 

[Quoth]

I'd have to say Dr. Who although the tune has been modernised the underlying theme is still the same as it was when I first heard it 30 years ago.

 

[Casual Shinji]

........Ah, nostalgia beckons me.


EDIT. Damn, the video doesn't work.

 

[SextusMaximus]

Definetly Wallace and Gromit -- absolutely classic.

 

[Snork Maiden]

The Ulysees 31 introduction is by far the greatest ever. Obv.

 

[similar.squirrel]

'Black Books' has an amazing theme. And as much as Danny Elfman annoys me, The Simpsons is catchy as hell.

 

[GloatingSwine]

I believe that it is a scientifically proven fact that Hawaii Five-O has the best TV theme tune ever.

 

[Dok Zombie]

Despite not really being into the programme, Dr Who has a great theme.

 

[ActionDan]

I swear to GOD that the makers of Cow & Chicken were on some form of mind altering drug. Either that or they are completely off their fucking rockers.

 

[Trifixion]

I think I tend to like themes which are either overly-dramatic, overly-silly, or overly-catchy. A few of my favorites...

Star Blazers (a.k.a. Space Battleship Yamato) [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMcrep48Wz0]

The original Battlestar Galactica [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOEgjKZAsUk]

The 1960's Batman [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOUPjEHYFew]

The late 60's/early 70's Spider-Man [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4o29VoxtsFk]

The A-Team [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MVonyVSQoM] (Added bonus at 0:46 or so in reference to the aforementioned original Battlestar Galactica)

The Addams Family [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaprdRVx6w0]

...I think I'm showing my age...

 

[Sonicron]

Oh, the good old times... I remember this from back in the day when Cartoon Network didn't suck. Along with great shows like I Am Weasel, Johnny Bravo, Dexter's Laboratory or Ed, Edd'n Eddy.

Now for my entry.
WARNING: This intro is so manly, it might leave you pregnant.

Spoiler: Iron Man (1996)

That's right, even his mullet gets more chicks than we do.

 

[Cabamacadaf]

 

[Kiefer13]

This.

Or maybe Firefly...

And This.

The Stargate SG-1 theme song.

There are so many memorable opening themes from 80's/90's cartoons I could mention as well.
Duck Tales, Darkwing Duck, Batman: The Animated Series, Earthworm Jim... I could go on.
